After trolling Verizon curious what reasons they will come with for that outage.

Maybe this is payback by Verizon...

Good.

I'm tired of people not learning that trusting a single gateway with 50% of the internet is bad.

Yes, I know, free DDOS protection. There has to be another way of doing this, some mesh based DDOS protection or so.

So cloudflare.com runs on Cloudflare?

For the site itself that's totally fine, and the status page is separate as it should be, too.

This is fine-ish...

In case of network issues affecting their proxy, being able to change your configuration to allow direct traffic would be really nice.

My shopify sites are down this morning, seems to be 502-ing because of this issue.

Fair. Some service recently had their status page hosted on the same server that went down, that was funny.

Discord's status page is also down haha

I'm quite surprised Discord's status page is behind Cloudflare. I thought they were using statuspage.io.

Don't want to go off topic, but if I want to prevent my website going down because of stuff like this in the future, will having back up DNS entries solve the problem? I know DNS will fall back if it can't reach a service, but would a 502 trigger that?

Yeah, you'll want to keep your domain registered through a different registrar and if CF goes down you can update your DNS Name Servers point from CF to something like AWS Route 53.

This has a few drawbacks like making sure your Route53 configuration is identical to your CF config, ensuring your origin servers can cope with the additional load if CF caching isn't available and the DNS propagation time required for the Name Servers to update.

During the last outage, we were able to get into the CF dashboard and simply disable the proxy which allowed our clients to access our origin servers directly but this time we can't even get into the Dashboard.

Not impressed it's serving an error page claiming the underlying host is to blame (this one from discord)

Error 502 Bad gateway

You - Browser - Working

Sydney - Cloudflare - Working

storage.googleapis.com - Host - Error

What happened? The web server reported a bad gateway error.
